There were no indicators that D-man went to divinity school at all. He'd never been depicted anywhere near the school. She definitely did go to school with Jesus, though. I wouldn't say that he's necessarily celestial, son of god he may be.

We have not been shown anything to really imply at all that Fuchsia is of similar origin as Blue - in fact we know so little of Fuchsia's origins that its simply ridiculous to say that there's evidence of her being really anything but human. Literally all we know so far is that she worked at the club with Blue, and clearly isn't too happy with the situation.

Keep in mind that fuchsia is also the name of a plant, so her name - in universe - might not have been chosen explicitly due to color._________________

Well, if we're talking in the context of Christianity he IS God.

However, even just in the context of his story without all of the doctrine, he's a demi-god.

I mean, you have a better memory for this comic than I do, Miss. Magenta. Show me someone at the school that we know is 100% human and I'll relent. Otherwise, I'll just assume you and Rune just like arguing with me over my opinons, which--I assure you--aren't fanatically held and change when I'm presented with new information. So, persent me with something I've forgotten about the school comics.

A plant also named for its color.

However, guess what? I really don't care enough to fight you guys tooth and nail over this. I'm happy to just wait and see. I've stated my opinion based on the information I have and I will await more information to either confirm or deny that opinion. I will happily read any citations to other comics you might have to show why I'm wrong in what I've said; otherwise I'm still worn down from the last conversation and don't feel like rehatching something like it ATM. So, I'll just shut up instead._________________A MtG Webcomic

Depends on which branch of Christianity you're talking about. There is, in fact, some rather heated internal disagreement on the matter of whether Christ is God or not, if you're just talking about Christianity in general.

Anyway, for all that you say you're not holding your opinions too dear, why take disagreement from me and Miss M as a tooth-and-nail thing? No malice in it, but yeah, I kinda do like arguing, and discussing, and all that stuff, and I happen not to share your point of view on this one.

It's not proved either way whether Fyoosh and Blue started as human or something else. I lean towards the speculation that they're human. You speculate that they're not. We both have our reasons for our leanings.

We don't know for certain what is the deal with any of the other children at divinity school. The only characters in those strips that were identifiable were Blue and Jesus - Jesus being the son of god, and no real clarification on what Blue is supposed to be. Is she a human, or demigoddess? Full on goddess, or angel-to-be? Human training to become a deity of some sort? There's nothing to really indicate anything in regards to her status prior to being a devil person. All we know is that divinity of some kind is involved - but she couldn't do anything that was required of her at the time - and Jesus attended the school as well. Anything else is not really specified.

Other children at the school are just random faces - with no clarification as to who or what they are either. And it's not like it matters, either - they're not any characters that we should care about. They're just... there, for the sake of the setting. Although there were three girls that had appeared that do have similar colors to the other devil girls, but with no real similarities to them besides that. Not sure what that counts for, though.

I'm not really trying to argue with you, though. I was just stating that your assumptions (in regards to stating that there is evidence for something that there is no evidence for) don't really have any founding of which to speak. I don't mind the theories, but you came across as presenting your ideas as established fact? If that is not the case, then I truly apologize for my misconception.

the plant was named after a man - if i remember right, it was the man who discovered the plant? - and the color was named after the plant

We also don't have a hugely reliable timescale for her time of attendance, either. I mean, in the Sinfest 'verse, Jesus still regularly walks around with a cross on His back. Who's to say when or where that schooling happened in His history? We have a younger devil approaching a younger blue, but then her apparent next step out of school is work in a "gentleman's club." Anachronism? Separate devil-world history? Did she have longevity through the succubus transformation as part of the soul-selling deal, or was it something that she had ahead of time and there's a MUCH longer period between her dropping out and finding work at the strip joint?

He didn't? Wow, that changes things a bit. Comes across kind of like a creeper selling drugs on the playground.

Well, he IS the Devil

Yeah, but every version has nitty gritty details that make them special, and I was thinking entirely differently of him back then - that maybe he started out more idealistic and innocent, just really pissed off and misguided. This is also fun. I'll have to do some thinking, and I really hope we see more of the early days._________________[Stripeypants has enabled lurk mode.]

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in about 1696-1697 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).

just adding to the general knowledge level here!_________________aka: neverscared!

fuchsia (n.)
red color, 1923, from the ornamental shrub, which was named 1753 from the Latinized name of German botanist Leonhard Fuchs (1501-1566). Not related to Latin fucus "seaweed, sea wrack, tangle," which also gave its name to a red color prepared from it. Latin fucus is from or related to Greek phykos "seaweed," also "red paint, rouge."_________________A MtG Webcomic

Given how it will be , actually having to work for Big-D and torturing souls, this poster kinda reminded me of the "Arbeit macht frei" sign in concentration camps.

Since Blue loved torturing souls, I'm not sure I get the perspective here.

Seriously, Blue used to be one of the happiest character in the strip. Even The Devil didn't seem to love his life as much as Blue loved hers. I really miss that.

If humans are allowed into Divinity School, then Seymour in particular might have whole new worlds of backstory that could be explored.

I'm not sure what "human" and "Seymour" have to do with each other. Seymour's pretty much the least human-looking of the main characters (even Squig at least has a nose). Even when he walks into The Reality Zone, he doesn't turn human.

Besides, Seymour has little room for a backstory since apparently he was literally created almost exactly as he is now.
